Congratulations on the release of “Art Gallery.” How does it feel? This piece is probably one of my favorite that I’ve ever put out, surpassing some of the works from “Paper House.” It feels amazing. What’s the story behind the song? I dated someone for a short time. In that time we were both learning …
Composer and pianist Charu Suri has released ‘Rags and Ragas’ and she has achieved a beautiful and well-crafted merger of two cultures. A raga is a modal scale, usually performed at a specific time of day. There are hundreds of such ragas found in India and here Suri introduces us to just a few of …

For me it’s the harmonies that are doing the job, especially where they are adding more and more in the chorus – there are harmonies throughout the song, but the …
Congratulations on the release of “The Rock Cried Out” how does it feel? Everything around returning to releasing music and touring feels very strange and surreal right now. Also, this collection of songs is highly personal to me, and was made during a very private isolated time. Dealing with the onslaught of emotions attached …
This track is just… beautiful. Muted trumpet, piano, double bass, and drums played with brushes no less! This is a slow tempo track that calls to mind a slow dance in a black and white film, in an empty club. Or the first dance at a wedding. I don’t know which, but this is stunning, …
